U.S. Olympic Team’s march to the medal stand will start in Maine-made sneakers! Congratulations to the team at Rancourt & Co. for continuing to set the gold standard. https://t.co/5TqvikJilk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

U.S. water systems are fundamental to everyday American life – but like our pipelines and our food supply, they are vulnerable to dangerous cyberattacks. We must bolster the cybersecurity of all our critical infrastructure. https://t.co/2pGgdE0P1q — PolitiTweet.org

These restrictions are hurting Maine’s tourism economy during the busy summer season, and continue to prevent Canadians from visiting their loved ones in the United States after more than a year apart. There’s no more time to delay; we must reopen the northern border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The closure of the U.S.-Canada border is harming businesses, communities, and families across Maine. As Canada prepares to lift restrictions for vaccinated Americans, I joined @SenatorCollins, @chelliepingree and @RepGolden to urge the U.S. to follow suit. https://t.co/b3VjbwoxXW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

We can’t keep letting “charitable donations” sit in bank accounts instead of being distributed to organizations working to improve our communities. It’s time to fix our tax code, so we can ensure that philanthropic funds are put to work for folks in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

It’s not rocket science – charitable donations should go to helping charities. But “donor-advised funds” allow donors to claim tax deductions for funds that never actually reach charitable organizations. My bill with @ChuckGrassley would change that. https://t.co/wcpTP9OgWy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I took a page out of my friend @StephenKing’s book to share a nightmare with my colleagues in @EPWCmte. America’s cybervulnerabilities – especially for our water system – could lead to catastrophe if left unaddressed; we need to improve our cybersecurity, now. https://t.co/k23NcFqipX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Big news – after strong, unified advocacy from the Maine delegation, $200 million in relief funds are now available to support loggers and timber haulers hit hard by the pandemic. Applications open tomorrow, July 22nd – more information here: https://t.co/YJGA2iVWmh — PolitiTweet.org

You can find a location administering vaccines near you by visiting: https://t.co/oRqo2jdMYi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Reminder: America’s coronavirus vaccines have proven to be safe and effective, while 99 percent of recent COVID deaths are among unvaccinated individuals. As the Delta variant continues to spread, the threat is still very real; please, get your vaccine as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Cybersecurity efforts by the government and private industry can’t be on separate tracks – the two must work together to confront this pressing challenge. My @CNN op-ed with Southern Company CEO and fellow @CyberSolarium commissioner @ThomasAFanning: https://t.co/JpciKvdHva — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Any bipartisan infrastructure package must include a significant investment to help Maine people statewide access the opportunities provided by affordable, high-speed broadband. Let’s keep working, and get this bill done for the American people. https://t.co/LHWxQ7LHaI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

As the oldest state in the nation, a strong home healthcare workforce is essential to the long-term wellness of our communities. More information on my bills: https://t.co/tEXJE0635d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The shortage of homecare workers in Maine is a crisis that will only grow in the years ahead. That’s why I’ve introduced three bills to improve training and create career advancement opportunities for our state’s home healthcare providers. https://t.co/AZVm8YCirp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

If you haven’t signed up for healthcare yet – there’s still time to #getcovered! The Special Enrollment Period remains open at https://t.co/Kwx0nN3WmS until August 15 – sign up, and ensure that you and your loved ones can access vital healthcare protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This bipartisan legislation will support international collaboration with trusted allies and partners, ensuring that we can continue to lead global efforts – while securing these important scientific advances from enemies and adversaries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

American minds are behind incredible, cutting-edge research – but our rivals around the globe try to steal those breakthroughs. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill with @SenatorLankford, @RepSusanWild, and @RepGallagher to protect U.S. research. https://t.co/QImi4Ie1qP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I’ve been impressed by the Administration’s steps to address ransomware, starting with @POTUS confronting Putin to hammer home that attacks on U.S. networks will bring a response. There’s much more work to do, but we’re headed in the right direction. https://t.co/vNhGLrZxe1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Quick shot from the Reception Room, just off the Senate floor. Our work rarely matches the magnificence of our surroundings, but every once in a while, we work together and get it right; trying to do that now on a bipartisan infrastructure package. https://t.co/j6nprjr0d2 https://t.co/ZaK3R4ZAlT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

In recent years we’ve seen impressive advances in renewable technologies, but the challenge remains: how do we power the grid when the wind stops blowing or the sun doesn’t shine? Cost-effective, energy-efficient storage systems will solve this problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Long duration energy storage is the key that unlocks our clean energy future – that’s why this push from @ENERGY is a critical step for our efforts to advance America’s technological leadership in this key field and confront climate change. https://t.co/jBcC23a2rc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

When the New York @Mets’ Pete Alonso defended his Home Run Derby crown last night, he did it with a Maine-made bat! Congrats to the team at @DoveTailBats for their continued success in hitting it out of the park. https://t.co/Ru0HadYLTs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Cyberattacks aren’t just looming threats – they are here and harming us every day. Good to see President Biden’s experienced and capable team is now in position to advance American cybersecurity; now, it’s time for all of us to get to work. https://t.co/oETOY7TnrQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The U.S. must ensure the safety of our Afghan partners, which is why I’ve cosponsored a bill to strengthen the Special Immigrant Visa program. We have a moral and strategic imperative to build a path to safety for Afghan nationals who aided our mission. https://t.co/xu6fMWbFPq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Great day in Maine to host @DepSecDef at @GDBIW with @RepGolden and a group of Bath Iron Works’ talented shipbuilders, giving her a first-hand look at the work that BIW does to support the @USNavy. https://t.co/qpLErbnnCQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

After more than a year of intense challenges and heartbreaking losses, today’s gatherings feel especially meaningful. As we celebrate our nation's independence, I'm wishing you and yours a safe, happy, and joyous 4th of July. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

His sharp instincts and fair-minded approach won him many admirers – listeners, policymakers, and fellow reporters alike. Our state will be poorer without him roaming the State Capitol, but his influence will live on for years to come. Congrats on a great career, Mal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

When listeners heard Mal’s distinctive Maine rasp come across the airwaves, they knew they were getting the straight news. Every time you finished listening to one of his stories, you knew more about your community and your state than you did just a few moments before. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

A Maine legend is retiring after nearly half a century of diligent journalism. Gratitude and best wishes to @MainePublic’s Mal Leary, who has kept our state’s citizens informed on the latest goings-on in Augusta, Washington, and everywhere in between. https://t.co/pLHtkfVFqu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Our resolution to #CutMethane is one of the most significant things Congress has done in recent years to confront climate change. Now, let’s keep working to protect this planet for our children and grandchildren. — PolitiTweet.org
